Rye Cake

Ingredients

• 1 quart sour milk
• ½ cup shortening
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a bowl, mix sour milk, shortening, salt, and baking soda until soft.

3. Roll out the dough and cut it into round cakes.

4. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven.
